I've noticed both things as well. I'm more forgiving of the feet thing because it's typical of pinups (speaking only of pinups mind you) for the models to be standing on their toes or the like (but not floating above a defined floor). The hands, however, bug me. A lot of time they're being held in some very, very stiff position that seems awkward. My biggest complaint is the one with the hands stretched out as tight as they'll go. Straighten your fingers and then curve your hand a bit with the tips going up and you'll know what I mean. It just looks so out of place. I don't get it, and yet many people use it. Is it just me? Or perhaps just us?
